Phagenyx® Neuromodulation System
Retrain the Brain. Restore Swallowing Control.
Pioneering the Science of Swallowing Safety & Efficiency
Phagenyx is built on groundbreaking research demonstrating that swallowing can be restored through targeted stimulation. Its safety and effectiveness are supported by 30+ peer-reviewed publications validating both the science and clinical outcomes.
Promotes Neurologic Recovery
Phagenyx applies pharyngeal electrical stimulation (PES) to the sensory nerves and restores the brain’s control of swallowing function
Improves Swallowing Safety & Efficiency
Clinical studies show Phagenyx enables faster return to oral nutrition and reduces aspiration risk, supporting shorter hospital stays
Designed for Real-World Care
Phagenyx enables early intervention without disrupting clinical workflow – even for critically ill patients
The Phagenyx System
Introducing the first and only clinically validated neuromodulation system using Pharyngeal Electrical Stimulation (PES) to retrain the brain and restore swallowing control.

What is Pharyngeal Electrical Stimulation (PES)?
A new approach to improving swallow safety & efficiency
Pharyngeal electrical stimulation (PES) is a targeted therapy that sends low-level electrical impulses to the swallowing nerves in the throat, helping re-establish communication between these nerves and the brain.
- Targets the root causePhagenyx applies pharyngeal electrical stimulation (PES) to the sensory nerves and restores the brain's control of swallowing function.
- Stimulates brain-swallow pathwaysBy sending signals from the throat to the brain, PES helps re-establish the neural pathways needed for coordinated swallowing.
- Promotes faster swallowing recoveryPES promotes neurologic recovery to accelerate the return to safe, effective swallowing - reducing reliance on feeding tubes and helping patients recover sooner.
- Delivered safely at the bedsideThis non-surgical therapy takes just minutes and can be delivered by trained staff wherever the patient is - ICU, stroke unit, or rehab.
How It Works
Stimulation of sensory nerves
Swallowing control is restored
Signals excite motor cortex
Excitation drives neuroplasticity
Swallowing control is restored

Testimonials
Hear from members who’ve reclaimed their lives with Phagenesis and getting back to what matters most.
[Phagenyx] has allowed us to offer a new treatment to our patients that is evidence-based. We’ve seen patients progress faster than they may have with other available therapies.
Chrissy, SLP, Banner University Medical Center
“Before Phagenesis, our SLPs had limited options in treating dysphagia. It’s the best-kept secret in the United States.”
Andrei Alexandrov, MD, Chair – Neurology, The University of Arizona College of Medicine
“They got my throat working again after 10 minutes on the first day. At the end of the 6th day—after 60 minutes of treatment—I’m swallowing and eating like normal. It gave me my world back.”
Michael, Stroke Survivor
I wasn’t able to do any drinking, any swallowing. After treatment, we did the next swallow test, and there were massive improvements. I was able to tolerate level 3 thickened liquids and pureed food. I really think Phagenyx helped a lot.
Rafael, Stroke Survivor
Traditional [dysphagia] therapy takes a lot of time. Phagenesis accelerates that. We had a gentleman who came in who was not able to handle secretions, and a month later, he was able to take an oral diet. Without PES, that would’ve taken months and might not have happened ever.
Brenda, Clinical Nurse Specialist, Banner University Medical Center
“Phagenyx® gave me back one of the most important parts of my life. It got me eating, drinking, and living again.”
Paul, Stroke Survivor
“After 6 sessions… people could feel the movement in my throat. My
sensitivity improved… You could feel it pulsing. A week later… I was home.”
Paul, Stroke Survivor
